David Willans

David is the facilitator of our dads’ workshops. He also runs Being Dads, which explores what it means to be a dad in today’s world and how to be a better one. He’s interviewed a wide range of dads to build answers to these questions, from successful entrepreneurs, experts on innovation and collaboration, clinical psychologists, happiness experts and environmental campaigners.

David is also a director at Kin&Co, working with brands and organisations to drive growth. He’s spent over a decade helping businesses like Unilever, Kingfisher and TripAdvisor to drive growth with purpose. He sat on the UN Taskforce for Sustainable Lifestyles and judged awards such as the creative industry D&AD New Blood awards. He has successfully built and led many teams, and is particularly fond of facilitating and training, having run numerous sessions for clients across Europe and in China.

David publishes interviews with dads and articles at www.beingdads.com. He’s father to two brilliant, and sometimes bumptious boys, aged 4 and 7.
